Mike Boyarski gave a presentation on MemSQL, an operational data warehouse that provides real-time analytics capabilities. He discussed challenges with traditional databases around slow data loading, lengthy query times, and low concurrency. MemSQL addresses these issues with fast data ingestion, low latency queries, and high scalability. It can ingest streaming data, run on a variety of platforms, and provides security, SQL support, and integration with common data tools. MemSQL was shown augmenting an existing IoT architecture to enable real-time analytics through fast data loading, consolidated data storage, and high query performance.
